View Full Version : Win x64 with X800XL, no go....

I installed Win x64 with no issues. It actually installed very, very fast and didn't need me to install third party SATA drivers at all. I was able to get all the drivers for the x64 setup working but not the new ATI 5.4s for x64.
Everything was faster on the x64 setup so I would prefer it, but after the first reboot following the ATI 5.4 install I get a black screen. I have to completely reinstall the OS to get back to normal operation but lose it as soon as I install the ATI drivers.
Please help. Let me know if you have a working x64 setup with ATI!
Thanks

Try contacting Microsoft and ATI. Maybe an older driver?

I havnt had that problem... use x850XT...
:\
Though I have one lame issue... It throttles alot in x64 windows... - Had winxp pro before...
The thing is... Sometimes when shutting down browsers etc. it happens 3-4 secs after I pressed close :(
In benching I gained no extra marks... - While the programs still run 32bit.. :\ (01SE / 03 tested so far)...
However in sis sandre my arith incresed by more than 1000 mips !
Best regards

FINALLY!! I was beginning to think I was crazy because noone responded to this thread.
I have contacted ATi with what I think is a well written ticket but have not heard back.
I was very impressed with x64 and would love to use it if I can.

Yeah, it's really zippy and runs my beta 64-bit FarCry with absolutely stunning performance.
We're talking 75FPS+ AVG on 1280x1024 maximum quality 2xFSAA/16xAF with my X850XT-PE, when the best I ever got in Win x32 was 40-45.

I'm running a PowerColor X800XL with ATI x64 cat 5.4s and had no issues.
Wish I could tell you more but no problems at all. Very smooth OS
I wonder if it is dependant at all on the x64 version you are using?

Yes, I believe that is the difference. It should not occur with the RTM version. Opteron YGPM.

It's kickass. The only problem I've had is with SC:CT but that's because of a StarForce 64-bit protection incompatability.

I believe I'm going to take another run at it tonight after work. Maybe try installing the drivers in a different order. I will log the install this time to see if maybe I'm jacking sumpin' up somewhere.

I don't understand your post at all. Are you saying you switched from AMD to Intel (who copied AMDs 64) to fix a problem that you are now blaming on nVidia, even though we are talking about ATI???
Please clear that up for me.
Thanks

well if you read my post before i had an amd 64 but could not install the ati 64 bit drivers just crashed every time now i have swaped to intel same gf card installed xp64 then installed gf driver with no problems so there for must be someing to do with nvidia i think i tried diffrent nvidia drivers and even ati beta drivers still the same :slapass: BAD nividia i swaped to intel cos amd is a crap chip in my opinion

Wow, but no. nVidia cards work fine on the NF4 with x64. But the ATi drivers fight with the system. I've already built a perfect system with the nVidia card using x64. Juat can't make it work with the system.

MethylONE,
This is probably a long shot, but have you played around with your ram settings at all?
I ask this because I was having very similar problems to you guys, windows-64 would not install (kept blue screening, rebooting etc), and it would always blue screen when trying to install the ATI drivers.
I found that it was DRAM voltage that was doing this (after weeks to testing, and trying every dam setting in the bios), and I had to LOWER it to fix the problem. This was even tho I was totally stable in memtest, prime, superpi and WinXp (32bit). I dropped my dram voltage from 2.8v to 2.75v and suddenly no more problems, just to make sure I put it back to 2.8v and the blue screens returned.
Just thought I would post this, on the off chance that you might have same problem.
Pete.

I have the same problems with the ATI drivers as mentioned above. Altough I use the latest drivers [5.6] the system crash when I try to install them [black screen, reboot etc.]. I could try to lower vdimm to 2.7v. There could also be a problem with the latest nForce drivers [6.39] I dunno. :confused:
